What we do

As a charity, we want to inspire a passion for gardening and growing plants, promote the value of gardens, demonstrate how gardening is good for us and explain the vital role that plants play

The Royal Horticultural Society is the UK’s leading gardening charity. We aim to enrich everyone’s life through plants, and make the UK a greener and more beautiful place. 

This vision underpins all that we do – from inspirational gardens and shows, through our scientific research, to our education and community programmes. We are committed to inspiring everyone to grow. 
We share our knowledge through books, websites, podcasts and magazines, hold world-class collections of horticultural books and botanical art, and sell the very best plants and gardening gifts.

We're involved in many activities that promote and benefit gardening for members and the wider public.

The activities of the RHS are focused on delivering a real benefit to all those involved and interested in horticulture and gardening in the UK, as well as achieving our strategic objectives.
